Magic Crispy Baked Shrimp (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Shrimp

01 - 1 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
02 - 1/2 cup dry white wine
03 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and divided
04 - Juice from one lemon
05 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ For the Topping

08 - 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
09 - 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
11 - 2 tablespoons butter, melted
12 - Fresh parsley, finely chopped

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 425°F to ensure it’s hot enough to cook the shrimp quickly and evenly.
02 - Pour the dry white wine and 2 tablespoons of melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking pan. Place the pan in the oven for about 10 minutes to allow the sauce to reduce and concentrate its flavors.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the remaining butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss well to ensure they are fully coated.
04 - In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, finely grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter to create the topping.
05 - Remove the preheated baking dish from the oven. Spread the shrimp in a single layer in the dish, making sure they fit snugly together for even cooking.
06 - Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp to create a crispy, golden-brown topping during baking.
07 - Bake the shrimp for about 12 minutes, or until they appear opaque but still slightly pink. Switch the oven to broil on high for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a perfect crispy topping. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
